The sky was dark, and in the wasteland north of the city, the water of the Trailing River changed from its usual calmness to roaring.
Both sides of the river bank were filled with panicked screams and howls that broke through the air.
The shaking in Juye City continued, with city walls collapsing and the ground sinking. This sudden change turned Juye City into a source of chaos. Not only practitioners, but also ordinary people scrambled to escape.
The bridge over the river has become the most crowded place, and the Yiluo River, which used to be able to protect people from the wind and sand, changed its appearance at this moment, turning into a swaying ribbon, and began to unscrupulously swallow the lives of those who fell into the water.
People were so panicked that no one noticed that in this chaotic flow of people, there were still two people standing at the bridgehead on the south bank without moving any further.
Different faces passed by the two of them and then moved away quickly. The atmosphere of fear had been brewing enough.
And they only have eyes for each other.
Xiao Gaofeng looked at Mu Qing with a wonderful expression.
He still remembered that in the first brief exchange with Mu Qing, he introduced himself, and now Mu Qing did the same thing.
"So you are no longer a clone now, right?"
Xiao Gaofeng did not take action immediately, his eyes fell on Mu Qing's face and he said slowly.
Mu Qing's eyes darkened. In order to destroy the formation in Juye City, he used a clone to carry the formation hub to attract Xiao Gaofeng and Gu Tong, and then used a clone to forcefully activate the formation. In less than a day, he had already lost three people in succession. Tao clone, even if it is used again, it has little meaning.
Xiao Gaofeng seemed to understand this, so he did not take action directly like the first time, but looked at Mu Qing with interest and said: "Your secret skills are indeed extraordinary. If you wanted to leave, you might have already penetrated deeply." In the hinterland of the Northern Wasteland, but apart from irritating us, what has it done?"
Mu Qing's eyebrows moved slightly and he said, "Do you think I will regret it? This is just an attempt to make me believe in what abilities I have."
Xiao Gaofeng's hand holding the sword was slightly tight, his face was ugly, but he still refused to take action.
Mu Qing glanced at him and said, "As a sword cultivator, you are already afraid, and you actually want to wait for someone."
Mu Qing suddenly disappeared from the spot, and Xiao Gaofeng's heart froze. He had already condensed a sword consciousness on Mu Qing in advance, but was surprised to find that Mu Qing was extremely fast, and his sword consciousness could only be embellished behind him.
Mu Qing swept a hundred miles along the river, purple light flickered under his skin, and lavender wings sprouted from his back, gradually widening the distance between him and Xiao Gaofeng.
He had already experienced the Gu family's Pangu body from Gu Yuan, and it had extremely strong defense and vitality. The backlash of a city's formation could only hold Gu Tong back for a while. Now he must escape Xiao Gaofeng's pursuit as soon as possible.
Xiao Gaofeng also understood the key point. Seeing that Mu Qing wanted to escape, he relaxed slightly and at the same time, he activated the sword energy in his body and used the ultimate speed, so that Mu Qing could not get rid of him completely.
The two of them headed north one after another, and soon surpassed everyone who had escaped from Juye City. Mu Qing looked at the rapidly retreating red wasteland below him and saw for the first time what a barbaric wilderness was.
Soon after, Mu Qing stopped on his own initiative and swallowed a handful of pills.
Any secret technique has its limit, and the technique of clone consumes a lot of energy. Basically, every time he uses it with all his strength, 30% of his energy will be consumed.
So when he met Xiao Gaofeng at Qiaotou, the zhenqi in his body was already less than 30%.
Although Xiao Gaofeng was timid and did not test his strength, but if this continues, his speed will only become slower and slower due to his physical strength.
A sword sound came from far away, then stopped when it was hundreds of meters away from Mu Qing.
Xiao Gaofeng stood in the air, narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully observed Mu Qing.
He saw Mu Qing's actions just now, but he didn't feel relaxed at all because of this change. Instead, he became more and more vigilant.
Because everything about Mu Qing's behavior at the moment was weird.
The quality of those elixirs must be high, so after being swallowed by Mu Qing, huge energy will seep out of his body and form a ball of elixir mist surrounding his body.
Such a domineering method of taking pills will definitely cause great pressure or even damage to the body. Why does Mu Qing act like a normal person?
Mu Qing
His chest rose and fell slightly, looking at Xiao Gaofeng who still didn't take action, he secretly felt lucky.
He didn't expect that the elixir looted from the Bounty Pavilion would have such a high efficacy. The huge energy was instantly released in his body. For a moment, he almost couldn't control the power.
Fortunately, his body has improved a lot after being tempered by the Tribulation Thunder.
Xiao Gaofeng suddenly said: "My sword sense tells me that your true state is really in the middle stage of the extraordinary, but even if it is a secret technique, why can it cause such a huge disparity in strength?"
Mu Qing quickly consumed the energy of the elixir and did not answer.
After experiencing so much, he has already discovered that although strength can be borrowed from external objects, in the end he still relies on himself.
If he hadn't had a special physique, he would never have been able to withstand Meng Zhang's power. But now, if he could bear Meng Zhang's power with all his heart, he would already have a strength that was not much weaker than the peak of Extraordinary.
When Xiao Gaofeng saw that Mu Qing remained silent, he didn't care and continued to ask: "If your body can greatly improve your strength through secret techniques, why can your clones do the same? Where do you inherit it from?"
Mu Qing saw a trace of extremely fervent desire in Xiao Gaofeng's eyes. He recalled that Gu Ci also coveted the secret technique in him, and smiled calmly: "Even if I pass the secret technique to you, will you be able to learn it?" ?”
Whenever he had the opportunity during this period, he would practice the "Flying Eight Extremes" technique of clone in the consciousness space, and he also unexpectedly discovered another use of the technique of clone.
That is to use the clone to bear Meng Zhang's power.
Although the clone cannot endure as long as the main body, due to the special spiritual form, it is easier to accept Meng Zhang's power. In other words, the clone's strength in a short period of time is higher than that of the main body.
If it were any other person, even if he practiced the complete secret technique, it would be impossible to achieve his effect.
This was also the fundamental reason why he wanted to fight back after knowing that there was an ambush in Juye City.
During the moment of confrontation in the air, Mu Qing's energy recovered to 10%. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and smiled at Xiao Gaofeng: "It seems that your luck is not as good as mine."
Xiao Gaofeng frowned slightly. He had been holding Mu Qing for a long time, but there was no movement from behind. What happened over there in Gutong?
Xiao Gaofeng looked down at the barren land beneath him and was silent for a moment. He finally made up his mind and looked up at Mu Qing and said, "You really make me feel troublesome, and I really don't want to die."
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly, feeling that Xiao Gaofeng's words were a bit baffling, but the next moment, his expression became much more solemn.
Xiao Gaofeng raised his sword, and as he moved, countless sword marks, either eye-catching or obscure, filled the world within a hundred miles.
These sword marks seemed to have some special vitality. As the light and shadow circulated, they combined vertically and horizontally to form a large net that was about to crush the world.
And Mu Qing is the one caught in this net.
Xiao Gaofeng's temperament became much colder and he said: "I was originally just a swordsman in the martial arts world. I really came into contact with spiritual practice very late. For more than a hundred years, I have only pursued one thing."
"If transcendence is to understand one's own swordsmanship, then transcending the mortal world is to confirm one's own swordsmanship, but what about becoming mortal?"
There was a trace of confusion in Xiao Gaofeng's eyes, which lingered: "What should it be to transform into a mortal? I have been looking for the answer for many years. It was only when I was about to die that I became a little clearer."
Mu Qing glanced at the intertwined sword marks between heaven and earth, felt the powerful oppression, and asked curiously: "What is Transformation?"
Xiao Gaofeng was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Hua Fan probably knows himself."
As his words fell, an obscure Taoist rhyme emerged between heaven and earth. It was extremely sharp. The sword intent on Xiao Gaofeng was triggered and spread to all directions in an instant. The sword marks were filled with the sword intent and came to life completely, turning into streaks of bright light. The ultimate sword energy strangled Xiang Mu Qing.
"What a sword array that can destroy even the heaven and the earth. Is this your way of swordsmanship?"
In Juye City, a man in green clothes stands on the broken wall, looking north. Behind him is Gu Tong, who has a gray face.
"Ling Qingsong, he is going to die, why don't you move?" Gu Tong said with a sneer.
Ling Qingsong gave him a faint glance, "In the duel between sword cultivators, it's your turn to speak.
? "
Gu Tong snorted coldly and glanced at the pine branch at Ling Qingsong's waist, feeling a dull pain in his chest.
Juyecheng's formation backlash only trapped him for a while and didn't even cause him any harm. But just as he was heading north, a sword energy easily broke through his defense.
If that sword wasn't just a warning, I'm afraid he would have been seriously injured even if he activated Pangu's body.
Thinking of this, Gu Tong couldn't help but sigh. Sword cultivators have always been said to be invincible at the same level, not to mention that the opponent was simply a level higher than him. This was why he valued Xiao Gaofeng so much, but now he could only say it was a pity.
In the sky of the wasteland, sword energy criss-crossed, covering the heaven and earth hundreds of miles away, and the intertwined sword whistles were like violent thunder.
Yellow sand rose everywhere on the red earth, and countless bright sword energies intertwined and cut in one place in the split sky, so the yellow sand and the sword energy danced together, forming a huge storm across the sky and the earth.
In the center of the storm, the flame-like sword energy became the actual eye of the storm, making it difficult for the violent sword energy to enter at all.
"You are indeed a swordsman as well."
Outside the storm, Xiao Gaofeng looked at the voice in the storm and said.
There was a bit of satisfaction and a bit of regret in his eyes.
Satisfied, letting a sword cultivator experience his swordsmanship is a very good choice for the sword cultivator; unfortunately, his move is not perfect.
In his mind, when the countless sword energies between heaven and earth turned into one, that was when he could clearly see his own heart and advance to mortal form.
In the storm, blood had soaked Mu Qing's body.
The purple light under his skin was flickering endlessly, already activating the body protection secret technique to the extreme, but Xiao Gaofeng's attack this time contained some weird Taoist charm, which was extremely sharp.
The true energy in his body surged like a roar, and was released by the Demon Suppressing Sword in his hand, turning into red sword energy barriers, which could barely resist the erosion of the sword energy storm, but consumed a huge amount of energy.
After half a cup of tea, even with Meng Zhang's help, he will be exhausted because his own energy will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to maintain his sword energy. By then, what awaits him will be a difficult situation that he can resist with his body.
